BIG ISSUE HELP PLEASE

leeh14 · 22 Jan 2009 at 18:55

Hey,

Just built my PC, and booted it up, when I turn it on all the right lights come on, however; I get no BEEPS or signal output! The only thing I think it might be is that the graphic drivers aren't installed, and the motherboard does not have a VGA output? But not sure! Any help on this matter would be amazing!

Cheers

Best thing to do in a situation like this is to take it all apart and rebuild it, checking that everything is seated properly and that all the power connectors are in. For example people often forget graphics card power or the additional motherboard connectors for the CPU power.

Your computer will boot up without drivers, dont worry about that.

as said above power cables are the first thing to check out. I remember getting very fustrated when i first built my pc until i realised i had missed the 4 pin CPU power

Also sometimes a CMOS reset works, like already mentioned above, double check the 4 or 8 pin power is connected.

Test RAM individualy just in case you have a faulty stick.

I found i hadn't connected the 4 pin power socket to the motherboard, never used to be there when i was a lad

A classic mistake, without that or connecting power to the graphics GH would be nothing but 'Spec me a finger for pushing the on button' threads :rolleyes:
